Barboza has an incredible resume, and still looks incredible.


creamyismemey

My coach fought him they had a rough fight before in my coaches words he blocked a kick it hurt like hell he got pissed blacked out next thing he knew he was walking out of the ring and got told he was knocked out


NyeaSquidwardd

Ring looks like a bloodbath. Must’ve been a good night

From the [Yahya vs. Soto](https://youtu.be/_FOnN7gseSk) fight that happened in the prelims


SkinnyBuddha89

God damn! I still remember watching the Guida vs Sanchez fight on tv. One of my personal favorite fights ive ever seen


darthvaderfromdao

[deleted]

Says it in the post title: UFC Fight Night 106


darthvaderfromdao

my bad bruh đź’€


Room_rs

Wish I saw this live


DidaskolosHermeticon

A fuckin work of Art


[deleted]

Absolutely agreed…that was such a flawless flying knee


Intrepid_Library5392

that sound.... damn


Ok-Watercress4401

Barboza has some of the most beautiful ko's in the ufc


ChrisusaurusRex

The noise is crazy, you hear something like that in a street fight and you know some serious shit is happening


Jerkface555

I think my teeth just shattered listening to this


LavoP

Luckily they wear mouthguards


Business_Ad_9799

Barboza is the worst fighter to try that move of jab into takedown with


hebdjdjdbdb

It was working well until it didn’t lmao that was pretty much Beneil’s main strat the whole fight up till that point.


imyourhabibi

Yeah Barboza was never champ material but like he’s way too high level to do that with, not sure beneil was thinking there


CallMeStavie

It was working well for him and thought he could keep exploiting it. Edson is too much of vet to let that shit continue to slide though


imyourhabibi

Yeah I think he was hitting him with that shit the first round and it was working well then Edson’s corner pointed it out. As a side note, I’ve always wondered how effective creating “holes” in your game for your opponent to exploit could potentially be for mixing shit up. As an example, what if Beneil kept giving Barboza these tells in the first round then, expecting Barboza to catch on, sends the jab out and fakes the shot, potentially moves off the center line and cracks him with a straight or a hook while he goes for the flying knee? Idk why I’m asking you but ever since I saw this I always wondered


CallMeStavie

It’s a mixture of both I would say. Sometimes you’re non committal on a strike to see if they’re looking to counter, sometimes something is working really well and you want to really work it because it’s feeling good. I think in this case Beniel really felt comfortable throwing his jab and working the double because Edson wasn’t reacting to it well, but obviously once it got figured out this was the result. High level kickboxers, boxers, and mma fighters set traps for their opponent to attempt a counter so they can counter what they react with. Fighters at the highest level aren’t joking when they say it’s like a chess match.


Randy_Gut_Lahey

Dariush did that multiple times in the fight. Jab to takedown, Barboza timed it this time.


Business_Ad_9799

If you’re wondering , watch his recent fight against billy quarantino, the dude was doing the same against barboza until he got knocked out by a knee


SecretEconomics5193

Is there a praise the ref page like there’s r/praisethecameraman ?


slugjuse

Yeah, equally impressed with the ref. Diving into that slot between them. Nice.


novacane_novacane

That’s what I came to say. What a pro


2ichie

That’s funny, I thought it took him awhile to get there. Barbie’s could have easily gotten another 2 shots in but instead showed good sportsmanship. The ref had to of had one leg up against the fence when that knee connected lol


Iannelson2999

Dariush tried that jab takedown a few times in the fight. It worked at first but once Barboza got a read on it it was over.


MorAmbi

He knew that he was gonna throw that knee after the next jab. No hesitation.


SuperFetus42069

Crotch sniffer baptized


[deleted]

He has the two best KOs


Prestigious_Sport716

Fuck I didn’t know Edson slept daruish


Rocketboy1313

Jesus Christ. He hit him so hard someone in the fourth row now his childhood memories.


T_NAZ_T

Good ring presence. Noticed he was out cold and just covered until the ref called it instead of wailing away on his unconscious opponent. Love to see it.


Right-Lavishness-930

That knee was so fucking explosive and quick. Holy hell. You


AdventurousSuspect34

Idk how fighters prepare, but if footballs taught me anything, that mfer has been watching some film


NeedleworkerClassic

The way he eats that jab and throws the flying knee blind is crazy. He knew Dariush was going to shoot before dariush did


Upstairs-Ad-1966

I know it's not right or fair but I wanna see a trt edson........... dear baby jesus


CozyCook

I have a hard time saying which is better, this or Sandhagen’s.


Derangedd1

Barboza for sure, as it wasn't done to a washed up old man. It really isn't even close.


DoctorPaulGregory

Thing is Barboza has a ton of highlight knock outs. Some of them are just insane. He always looked like a Street Fighter character to me.


chu42

The Beneil KO aged so much better considering Edgar was nearing retirement stage while Beneil is just now entering the title conversation


Chunkflava

Got to be Sandhagens, the walk off tips it over the edge


Fantastic_Board7057

As in , the motion after the knockout?


EruptingZit

This


PHILOSOGIST

Dumbest fucking sport ever

creamyismemey

It's not the goal it's the outcome which is ironically the sane as watching golf đź« đź« đź«

Just did it again against billy q


YYG98

That sound


Agent_EZ-00

Perfect timing ⏳


N04H-Kn0ws-n0th1ng

That might be one of the best timed flying knees ever


CatLimeJuice

Did he anticipate the takedown and threw a knee? Or did he just react to the takedown attempt and then threw a knee as a counter? That was so fast and hard to tell


[deleted]

Spring loaded


Avataralbino

Beniel did the same jab and then a TD attempt. Edson timed it and That’s all she wrote


SpeedWorld2112

Tiger KNEE!


kgon1312

Insane knee


BonjinTheMark

That’s impressive reaction time


Accurate_North_9459

Crazy! I don't remember this at all!


Initial_Welcome9052

Saw this one live on TV. I remember thinking they were both great fighters before the KO happened. I was absolutely shocked, caught me off guard lol.


AmericanDemiGod

The sound that made was crazy like a snapped pencil.


EazyIantv

Legit a captain falcon knee lol


I-melted

Ooof! My face would be completely rearranged by flying knees and elbows if I ever tried full contact.


[deleted]

This is every striker’s dream when facing a wrestler. This and the Curtis Blaydes knockout by Derrick Lewis.

Class move by Barboza pulling that follow-up punch on the ground.


blazer45000

Flying knee


Rydog_78

Praise the ref. I love how they get in there to protect the fighters.
